Ageing is tricky. It's like you still feel young inside, but then every once in a while you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and reality smacks you in the face.

For me it's when I try to leap over a barbed wire fence and then I remember the family benefit and go find a gate.

At least I can still bend over to tie my shoes. I took a folding chair to a parade this week. It turns out it was a very low beach chair. I had a devil of a time trying to lower myself into it. I stood instead. Aging sucks.

For a happy life: *Make sure one of the paths in your life leads to the beach, the forest, and on some days a table full of cake and chocolate. *Walk barefoot wherever and whenever you can. *Learn to love your alone time. *Always let your heart hope and dream and love. *Be honest with yourself. *Turn the page you are stuck on. Expand the story. *Make enjoyment important in your life. *See your age as a gift and not a curse at butterflies ands ebbles

I had a devil of a time trying to lower myself into it. I stood instead. Aging sucks. I've stopped bending over to tie my shoes. I don't even clip my own toenails any more. And I hate those low beach chairs. They're even more difficult to get out of than they are to get into.

A father said to his daughter “You have graduated with honors, here is a Jeep I bought many years ago. It is pretty old now. But before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them I want to sell it and see how much they offer you for it.” The daughter went to the used car lot, returned to her father and said, “They offered me $1,000 because the said it looks pretty worn out.”
The father said, now “Take it to the pawn shop.” The daughter went to the pawn shop, returned to her father and said,”The pawn shop offered only $100 because it is an old Jeep.”
The father asked his daughter to go to a Jeep club now and show them the Jeep. The daughter then took the Jeep to the club, returned and told her father,” Some people in the club offered $100,000 for it because “it's an iconic Jeep and sought by many collectors.”
Now the father said this to his daughter, “The right place values you the right way,” If you are not valued, do not be angry, it means you are in the wrong place. Those who know your value are those who appreciate you......Never stay in a place where no one sees your value. Credit: Unknown

WHY? Does quoting relevant scripture send the 2x2;s into sometimes a nasty response??

To become an atheist you are changing from worshiping God to worshiping yourself !!!

I have come to understand with time, that saying you worship God or Christ is the easy part, portraying some evidence in your life, is different. And so often it just appears, as putting 'self first'.
From the anti/life philosophy that comes through/ the emphasis on 'saving yourself' for an afterlife ..to the voice of the christian narcissist.

I would rather be in the company of an atheist who values putting others first in their life than a christian who puts the saving of self first.

Love is such a powerful force. It's there for everyone to embrace-that kind of unconditional love for all of humankind. That is the kind of love that impels people to go into the community and try to change conditions for others, to take risks for what they believe No gun required

Memories remind us that nothing lasts forever. Time is precious and should not be wasted. Enjoy life and remember, don't count the days, make the days count.

You come from dust and you will return to dust. That's why I don't dust. It could be someone I know. That how I see it ! I detest dusting. At times there is so much dust in my livingroom that I feel like throwing a handful of seeds and gardening. Seriously. Time to run the vacuum.

Let the wind do the sweeping.

Here's to all the people who get back up more times than they are knocked down, who give more than they ever expect to recieve, Who still show love to others, even when their own heart is broken, Who smile through the sad times, who light the way for others, Who spread laughter and joy. Thank you for making the world a better place,
